Earlier this morning, UpdraftPlus became the first backup plugin (and hence the first backup/restore plugin) to pass 1.6 million downloads from wordpress.org.
This means that UpdraftPlus (free edition) recently over-hauled BackWpup (which had a 3-year head-start) to become the most downloaded free WordPress backup plugin. Combined with paid versions (take a look here, if you’re in the market), UpdraftPlus is now undoubtedly the most downloaded and most installed WordPress backup solution in existence.
So, 2014 has been a huge year for us – but we’re not resting on our laurels. Plans are already in progress for even bigger things in 2015. Thank you for choosing UpdraftPlus, and stick with us!
